The Simpsons' Latest Couch Gag Is Rick and Morty-Themed (a.k.a. The Best)

The Adult Swim show invades Springfield in time for its Season 2 premiere.

If you're not watching Rick and Morty, Justin Roiland and Community creator Dan Harmon's '80s sci-fi, Adult Swim spoof, allow the couch gag from The Simpsons season finale to change your mind. Rick is a drunken scientist out of the Doc Brown playbook. Morty is his teenage grandson with serious social issues. Together, they traverse dimensions in search of trouble. Or in this case, accidentally melt Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. Glorious.

"We are honored and blown away to be a part of The Simpsons," Roiland said in a statement. "If I could go back in time and tell myself that this would happen, I'd be like 'No way, Jose!' I simply can't believe it. I think we might all be living in some kind of massive computer simulation to be honest. Look up simulation theory. That would explain how this happened."

Simpsons creator Matt Groening added that the cameo-filled couch gag will be "a real treat for fans of The Simpsons, fans of Rick and Morty, and fans of animated belching." Yes. Yes it will.

The couch gag also reveals information on Rick and Morty Season 2. The psychotic sitcom returns July 26 on Cartoon Network. And the entire first season of Rick and Morty just Hulu in its entirely. No excuses.
